In my uneducated opinion the words one cent lack sharpness.

A fake that could easily be spotted by an intermediate or experienced collector, but it might fool newbies. Here's what I see that makes me think it's definitely a fake:

The second 9 in 1909 appears off. The 9 isn't "closed" enough
The S mintmark has an irregular shape and looks nothing like the real mintmark
The left side of the reverse rim is irregular, not sharp and clear like the real thing

It also has that die chip on the inside center of the left wheat ear that can be found on many different date and mint fake Lincolns.

There are places you can buy and exact duplicate of this counterfeit coin today for $2 with free shipping.
So you overpaid by $8.

That's a pretty bad looking fake. I can tell it's fake just by looking at it.
